Jim and Della are a couple. They had two treasures which they were both proud of. One was Jim's gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della's beautiful hair. It fell on her, and reached her knee.
Della went out of the door and down the stairs to the street. She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read "Hair Goods(发饰) ". "Will you buy my hair?" asked Della. "Twenty dollars," the saleswoman said. Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim.
She found it at last. It was a watch chain. It was twenty - one dollars. At seven o'clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready. Jim was never late. The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His looked at Della in surprise, and there was an expression that she could not read.
"Jim," she cried, "don't look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present."
Jim took out a small box from his pocket and put it on the table. Della opened it. There lay the set of combs(梳子)that she had always wanted. Now they were Della's, but her hair was gone.
She smiled and held out Jim's present. "I searched all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how fantastic the watch chain looks on it. "
Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. "Della," he said, "I've sold the watch to get the money to buy the combs."
What is the real love? Loving and caring each other will bring it.
